Wikipedia , an open-source encyclopedia, announced a milestone : 500,000 entries in more than fifty
languages. More than two hundred thousand articles are in English .
Any Web user may edit any page in the Wikipedia, as each page is
an open "wiki" document.
Moreover, the copyright ethos of this collaborative
information resource is open ,
without any creator owning any contribution.
This represents extensive growth over the past thirteen
months, when Wikipedia announced one

Encyclopedia Succeed
12/18/2003 01:06 PMVirtual Community Makes Open Source Encyclopedia
Succeedhttp://firstmonday.org/issues/issue8_12/ciffolilli/index.html
An open source encyclopedia seems to defy all logic.
Anyone can contribute -- and anyone can change, deface or erase the
information it contains. Yet Wikipedia is successful for several
reasons. First, it's being constructed by a purpose-built virtual
community, whose members share the same goals and passions. Another
factor is the low cost associated with IT and virtual communities. In
a way, technology has virtually eliminated transaction costs for
editing and updating information. This not only stimulates development
of the community and the project, it provides a full exploitation of
massive collaboration economies. Another secret of Wikipedia's success
is its "creative construction" of information, rather than a "creative
destruction" of it. Initially, some observers expected an endless war
among reliable contributions, as well as graffiti attacks that would
deface and delay the development of the Web site. In reality, that
hasn't happened. Every change made to every article is stored;
unapproved modifications can be undone with a single click. Thus,
hackers and graffiti artists waste more of their time and effort
trying to litter a page than administrators require to correct it.
Through this mechanism of editing and undoing meaningless changes or
graffiti, an evolutionary process is fostered. Among other results,
that means only the best contributions survive.

12/15/2003 12:57 PMWHEN the ACT's 17-member Legislative Assembly last week passed an
obscurely-named Bill it fundamentally changed the landscape of
government software purchasing in Australia.
Joining a number of jurisdictions worldwide — including several
Brazilian cities — Australia's capital passed Democrats-sponsored
legislation designed to give open source software a leg up.
With the Democrats warning the ACT is just the beginning, opponents of
open source and Linux, such as Microsoft, are starting to sweat.

04/05/2005 11:50 AM IBM Adopts
Open Development Internally: "Following on the success of its
Eclipse open-source development platform, IBM has quietly been using a
form of open-source development internally to create technology the
company will sell commercially.
IBM calls its model Community Source, which it defines as a
collaborative, internal, open-source-style environment for developing
and testing new technology.
Danny Sabbah, vice president of strategy and technology for the IBM
Software Group, in Armonk, N.Y., said IBM is using its Community
Source model across 100 projects and 2,000 developers in the company.
These projects span the IBM Software Group, Systems Group, Research
and Global Services, he said."
Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about that. What parts of the
so called open source development process have they built into the
Community Source model? I've found that most developers have different
definitions of the open source development process (via

07/20/2004 11:14 AMOne frustration too many: time for a rant. When a bug in Mozilla
(keyboard focus is on the previously selected window) has remained
unfixed for at least 18 to 24 months, when XFree86 mouse interaction
with PS/2 or GPM remains hazardous and makes a system unusable and
that bug has been fobbed off to the kernel developers and not dealt
with for at least two years - when there are more examples like this
that make using Open Source software a pain, what do you do?
Are you one of the few people with the time and money and
expertise sufficient to delve into the source yourself to fix the
problem?
Do we have it "too good" and these niggles are, by comparison to
the rest of the world's computer users (Windows), absolute peanuts?

Open source and visible source
Open source and visible source
06/08/2004 09:11 AM
Zope Corp.'s layered strategy of engagement with open source and
visible-source communities is a compelling blend of the strengths of
free and commercial software development. In two previous columns, Open
source citizenship and Giving
back to open source, I explored the tendency of enterprises to
fork open source projects rather than join them. Pedhazur suggests
that a commercial entity supporting both an open source base and a
visible-source layered product can reduce the need to fork. By
outsourcing code enhancements, the argument goes, an enterprise can
enjoy single-throat-to-choke control without seceding from a project's
community. It remains to be seen how broadly this model can apply, but
in cases where it does, what's not to like? [Full story at
InfoWorld.com]
In this
two-minute
clip, Zope Corp.'s Chairman Hadar Pedhazur describes the visible
source model as a middle-ground option between the few large open
source projects, whose direction an enterprise cannot easily
influence, and the many smaller ones that enterprises can influence,
but typically fork in order to do so.

anywhere they can log onto a Wi-Fi connection. With an 80-hour standby
time and three to four hour talk time, the F1000 looks practical
enough to use as your primary phone, not to mention extremely handy to
have around as a secondary communications sidearm. Plus, you're sort
of getting a Wi-Fi location device for free.
The UTStarcom F1000 is a standard SIP phone, as well, meaning it

Prix Ars Electronica prizes announced
05/05/2004 08:10 AMThe winners of
the Prix Ars Electronica have been announced.
I was on the Digital Communities
jury this year for Ars Electronica. Thanks to the two jury
pre-selection and final jury process, we were able to spend a lot of
time on the 60 or so entries that were selected from hundreds of
submissions by the first jury. We had an awesome jury. The final jury
was me, Andreas Hirsch, Shanthi Kalathil (co-author of Open Networks, Closed Regimes: The Impact
of the Internet on Authoritarian Rule), Jane Metcalfe (co-founder
of Wired), Dorothy Okello (Coordinator of the Women of Uganda
Network), Howard Rheingold (the Smart Mobs guy ;-) )
and Oliviero Toscani
(The guy who made the controversial
Benetton ads). We gave our two Golden Nica cash prizes to Wikipedia and The World Starts With Me.
I'm sure everyone knows Wikipedia. The World Starts With Me is a
project from Uganda.
"The World Starts With Me" is a sex
education and AIDS prevention project that simultaneously gives young
Ugandans the opportunity to acquire Internet and computer skills. The
program is aimed at school children and young adults. To reach this
target group, 52 "Telecenters" (facilities equipped with IT
infrastructure including PCs with Internet access) have been set up
throughout Uganda. The program focuses particularly on 12- to
19-year-olds, with the objective of improving their understanding of
sexuality. The website features a very attractive, inviting design and
takes a playful approach to mediating complicated content, which is
presented in a way that enables young people to recognize situations
confronting them personally in their everyday lives. This program is
very popular in Uganda and is being used in many schools and
institutions.
Now if only "The World Starts With Me" would
make a wiki page...
Creative Commons won
the Net Vision Golden Nica. Yay! (I wasn't involved in that jury and
this was a pleasant surprise.)

I will be on the Prix Ars Electronica digital communities jury
again next year. Please help us out by submitting work that you think
meets the criteria below.
For the second time in 2005, Prix
Ars Electronica will honor important achievements by digital
communities. This category focuses attention on the wide-ranging

the fields of social software, mobile communications and wireless
networks.
The "Digital Communities" category is open to political, social,
and cultural projects, initiatives, groups, and scenes from all over
the world utilizing digital technology to better society and assume
social responsibility. It is meant to recognize the initiators and
propagators of these communities as well as the developers of the
relevant technologies, and to honor those whose work contributes to
the establishment and proliferation of Digital Communities as well as
provide understanding and research into them.
The prizes in this category will total 20,000 Euros: one Golden
Nica (10,000 Euro), two Awards of Distinction (5,000 Euros each) and
up to 12 Honorary Mentions.
